i have a k&n stock replacement filter right now on my 97 es3. which one would be better for performance? better for gas mileage? anything else i should consider if i keep the k&n? or should i even go with a cold air intake? forced induction or natural aspiration? any specific type of piping? or heat shield? all help would be appreciated

I have an '02 ES (1MZ-FE). The stock Denso filter and the K&N match on performance (ie acceleration, etc). Simply stated you won't get any performance enchancements from switching to the K&N filter in the oem stock air box.
I cannot speak to changing to a different air delivery system such as a short pipe, cold pipe, ram, etc.
MPG
The big difference I found with switching to the K&N, I picked up 3 mpg on city/round town driving and close to 5 mpg on all out highway driving.
save $$$ on filter replacement
I never have to buy another filter again. At approximately $12-30
depending on where you buy and how often you change....it will add up.
try it, if you don't like it, switch back. The cost of a K&N by mail order was less than $40. The recharger kit is less than $10 and will last the life of the car.
